60gb vs 80gb - Blu-ray Forum

shadowmoon · 07-10-2007, 03:53 AM

Ok, obviously we all know there is the 'elite' model of PS3 coming out with 80gb HDD, which will be priced at $599 plus Motorstorm. BESIDES the HDD and game, is there any other difference between the 60gb model and the 80gb?

Im not a big fan of Motorstorm and I can always go out and get a new HDD if I ever need one.

probly the emotion chip from ps2 is replced with soft ware maybe 65nm parts?

I'm pretty sure that those are the only differences... And if your worried about space, I was just at my local BB and you can get a 160gb HDD for under 150 bucks. so It seems pointless to get the 80 gig model when for 50 bucks more you can get a way bigger HDD... personally I thought that sony should've made it a 120gig instead of 80, to really smash the elite.

Yeah Im not too concerned about HDD since PS3 made it upgradeable and I can always get an external HDD if I have to, but between the 20gb and 60gb there was some differences (built-in wifi, multi card reader, appearance). I was just curious on Sony's justification for offering 20gb more storage space and a mediocre game for extra $100

Sorry but like i said, Im not a big fan of Motorstorm

good point. personally if i didn't already have my ps3 and was going to buy one i would get the 499 version just becuase it seems to be a better value. also I think that motorstorm would've been one of the best racers ever if it wasn't online multiplayer only. That's what made me shy away from it. I would have loved to go split screen with 3 other buddies duking it out!

According to this article the 80gb PS3 should be in S. Korea by now, anyone here know if we can verify that?

HI I READ FROM HERE THAT THE 80 MIGHT ALSO COME WITH THE "SHOCKAXIS" CONTROLLER SIXAXIS WITH RUMBLE.
